When somebody asks “How do I refer to a non binary person formally instead of sir or ma’am” and you answer “do not refer to me” that doesn’t answer their question actually

Hey! New Tumblr users

Upload something (anything) as a profile pic. A fave character, a pet, a sunset, ANYTHING

Reblog some stuff. You can always delete it later once you know what you want to blog

Putting something like "not a bot, just lurking" in your bio is optional

Because until you do these things,

You look like a spambot account and you're probably getting blocked.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

Lines of thought that seem Normal but are actually rooted in extreme puritanism:

-Seeing the nude human body is inherently traumatic -Sex scenes in art are pointless -Wearing kink-related clothing in public is the similar to performing a sex scene in front of unwilling participants -Depicting female characters expressing sexuality is always degrading -People's sexual fantasies are always an endorsement of the behavior they want to see in real life -Sex work is more traumatic and coercive than other types of work The goal is to treat sex as just another thing people do. That is a much healthier attitude than hiding it! It's not uniquely traumatic, it's not weird to talk about it or include it in society.

Asking if sex work is empowering or not is just... asking the wrong question.

Is construction work empowering? Is call center work empowering?

Sex work is a job. Jobs don't need to be empowering to justify their existence, or to justify their need for standard labor protections.

The fact is, some people do feel empowered by their work. Some people feel traumatized doing that same work. This is true of any art job.

No job is *inherently* empowering. Not under capitalism.

Hugely curious about the stats of this. I'm testing a theory. Elaborate in the tags if you please.

Please reblog!

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again

Just an FYI. The FDA is not allowed to announce any food recalls due to the health communications pause the current administration enacted. You can still find this information by visiting USDA the site directly.

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls

Here’s the fda link to use to search for recalls, safety alerts, and market withdrawals.

https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts

So, while you are making your grocery list, you may want to visit the recalls list since there’s no public communication right now.
